(Jazz?) Music composed over people talking normally

Looking for Aleatoric compositions on unaltered voice tracks.

I have been looking all over for this sort of Aleatoric music (I think it is anyway). It's just people talking with some music, jazz sounding, composed over the voices in the same rhythm. It was kinda of reminiscent of The Books, a la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOvBl0ikU00 . But there is not beat on top of it, it's just folks voices with music composed on that beat. Very reminiscent of this song as well: http://www.meile.com/player?invoking=CrossInvoking.addSongsToTask&parameter=1539707 . Any ideas?

Response by poster: Yes!, That's exactly what I was looking for. There is a whole record of this sort of thing, but it was also in English. Thanks for the reply, definitely in the right direction :)

How about Publio Delgado? (the subject of a recent MeFi post).

Perhaps not what you're looking for, but you might be interested anyway - the recent musical London Road (trailer). It appears they're making a film of it, too.

Best answer: The Happiness Project, from Charles Spearin. Here is a sample.

Jason Moran - Ringing My Phone.

There was also this, which is kind of interesting.
